英语词汇of the day的意思、翻译、用法及例句-英语用法大全

【问】 The amount of shift，Einstein calculated，should be 1.75 seconds of arc—a small varia-tion，but one discernible by astronomers of the day... On May 29，1919...the Britishastronomer Arthur Eddington found deflections in starlight that almost matched

Einstein’s prediction.

[原译]其偏斜的弧度，据爱因斯坦计算，应当是一点七五秒。这个偏差是很小的，但是却是今天的天文学家可以测量出来的。……1919年5月29日，英国天文学家爱丁顿……发现星光的偏斜几乎与爱因斯坦的预言完全相符。(书)

将astronomer of the day译为“今天的文学家”似乎与句子内容不符。

【答】原文中的of the day并不是指“今天的”，而是指“当时的”。原文中的时间状语1919年可以证明这一点。再举个类似的例子：

Where are now those men of the day?

当时(昔日)的英雄而今安在哉?
